Wikipedia

As 2017 goes into full swing, I’m immediately reminded that this will be my last semester in college. In the midst of ordering new books, sorting through student loans, and frantically searching for internships, I’ve been contemplating my last four years at Drew University. Here’s a list of some questions I gathered for Drew administrators, faculty, and students to ponder:

  1. Why do you have fire drills at the worst times?
  2. Why do the vegetables always taste like wet cardboard?
  3. Have you ever heard of decent spices or seasonings?
  4. Why do you always sell unripe bananas at Peet’s and the EC?
  5. Why did you switch to Peet’s anyway?
  6. Was that chill down my spine the lack of proper heating or a ghost breathing down my neck?
  7. Why did it take you two whole years to renovate Baldwin, but only half a semester to fix the roof of the DoYo?
  8. How disgusting are the suites after a whole night of partying?
  9. Why do we only have two classrooms for the entire psychology department?
  10. What was the point of getting rid of the Madison Avenue shuttle?
  11. Would it kill you to install some security cameras in the dorms?
  12. Out of the infinite names there are for collegiate teams, why do we have to be the Rangers?
  13. Why does Public Safety flip out when someone screams in the middle of the night and then turn a blind eye to sexual assault?
  14. How do you sleep at night when you charge $5 for water?
  15. Can Asbury upgrade to central heating like every other dorm on campus?
  16. Why did you build the campus on a hill?
  17. And why do you have freshman dorms at the very top?
  18. Why does the C-Store only open after 6?
  19. Going back to dining, why do we only have meal exchange at certain times of the day?
  20. Why do we have Meal Exchange on only certain foods? Shouldn't we have it on everything?
  21. Why didn't we celebrate Black History Month even though 9.8% of students identify as black?
  22. Why does Brown 3rd and every room in Asbury feel like the 4th layer of hell?
  23. Do you actually pay attention to sexual assault cases on campus or do you just devote your time and energy to confiscating marijuana and alcohol?
  24. Why do you have registration cut offs based on the number of credits?
  25. Why do the showers in Hoyt and Tolley/Brown look like little space pods?
  26. Are they even cleaned?
  27. Why the heck does it take Facilities over an hour to reach my dorm if it’s only 20 feet away?
  28. Can we think of a better mascot than a bear?
  29. Why is the campus completely deserted on weekends?
  30. Why do we close the dorm side entrances after 9 PM?
  31. Speaking of dining, can we get better service than Aramark?
  32. If the EC can have a compost bin, then why not Peet’s or the Commons?
  33. Why is the Health Center closed at the most inconvenient times?
  34. Do I just put my illness on hold until you open up again?
  35. Or magically fix my broken leg?
  36. Why can’t we get an actual pharmacy on campus?
  37. Where are the classes on important life skills, like Cooking 101 or Financial Management 401-K?
  38. Why did it take you so long to address the leaky steam vents near Brother’s College?
  39. And why haven’t you noticed that Hoyt Lawn has those too?
  40. Exactly why is 6 in the morning a good time to use leaf blowers?
  41. What do you use the side rooms in the Commons for?
  42. What happened to the tree sculptures two years ago?
  43. Why did we only have one night of UPB Bingo last semester??
  44. Why are the chicken nuggets so good?

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
